XF 2.0 External Links

How do I set the Forum Links Node to open new tabs as they open in place taking users away from the forums.

Mine has never worked, when I create a forum link node and you click on the link after it doesn't open a new tab it opens in the same tab taking people away from the forum.

To accomplish this, you can edit the node_list_link_forum template:

Find this line:

                     <a href="{{ link('link-forums', $node) }}" data-xf-init="{{ $descriptionDisplay == 'tooltip' ? 'element-tooltip' : '' }}" data-shortcut="node-description">{$node.title}</a>

And replace it with the following:

                     <a href="{{ link('link-forums', $node) }}" data-xf-init="{{ $descriptionDisplay == 'tooltip' ? 'element-tooltip' : '' }}" data-shortcut="node-description" target="blank_">{$node.title}</a>

Link forums will now open in a new tab.
